CHRIS TORIGGINO, HEAD COACH

I am a USA Triathlon Level 1 Certified Coach, a USA Cycling Level 3 Certified Coach, an IRONMAN Certified Coach and an accomplished triathlete with almost 30 years of racing experience. I have competed at all distances of triathlon as both a pro and a top level amateur. I continue to race today, but find ultimate enjoyment in coaching others.

While pursuing my undergraduate degree at The University of Texas in Austin, I served as a charter member of Austin Triathletes and the Texas Triathletes. In 1989, I was the Texas State Triathlon Champion and 3rd at the World's Toughest Triathlon which served as the National Ultra-Distance Championship. After graduating, I continued to pursue triathlon and was a top ranked triathlete in the South-Midwest Region for many years. In recent years, I have focused primarily on Ironman distance triathlons, winning my age group at Ironman Kentucky and qualifying for and competing at the Ironman World Championships in Kona twice. I returned to my ironman distance roots by completing the inaugural Ironman Lake Tahoe in 2013.

Today, I am the head coach and brains behind Athlete Architecture, a science based approach to individualized endurance training. Myself along with exercise physiologist, Bennett Fallow, design custom training plans and individualized coaching for athletes of all ability levels. I take a unique approach which encompasses science, lifestyle, nutrition, and functional testing to provide the most effective and efficient training possible.

I understand that my athletes lead fulfilled lives outside of endurance training. My athletes excel competitively while maintaining a healthy balance between family, work, and social demands. Whether you are a triathlete, pure cyclist, or beginner 5K runner, Athlete Architecture can help you reach your athletic goals.
